Set visibility in Menu programmatically android












46















So, that´s what I wanna know. How can I set the visibility of the menu programatically in Android?? This is how I have my menu:



public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
return true;
}

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item){
switch (item.getItemId()){
case R.id.menuregistrar:
break;
case R.id.menusalir:
break;
}
return true;
}


But this code is not on the onCreate, so I don´t know how to set one item visible or invisible programmatically (in my case, I want the "menuregistrar" to be invisible once I have registered my application and forever.

          Put this method in your Activity



          public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
          {
          MenuItem register = menu.findItem(R.id.menuregistrar);
          if(userRegistered)
          {
          register.setVisible(false);
          }
          else
          {
          register.setVisible(true);
          }
          return true;
          }


          in shorter version you could write:



          MenuItem register = menu.findItem(R.id.menuregistrar);      
          register.setVisible(!userRegistered); //userRegistered is boolean, pointing if the user has registered or not.
          return true;

            Two tips: 1.you can tighten that up by writing register.setVisible(userNotRegistered); 2. Boolean variables are usually positive i.e. if(!userRegistered). if(!UsersNotRegistered) is difficult to understand: if the user is NOt not-registered?

            You might also want to do a invalidateOptionsMenu(); to refresh the menu if the user already has it open.

          I would simplify Adil's solution even further with the following:



          public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
          {
          MenuItem registrar = menu.findItem(R.id.menuregistrar);
          registrar.setVisible(!isRegistered);
          return true;
          }

            Its good, but some new users wouldn't get it, as they are in hurry and want to get there problem solved asap, so I expended it to show what is actually happening there. :)

            @AdilSoomro, this code is simplier (and more convenient if "they are in hurry") than in your answer, so I'd suggest to edit the original answer.

          Use public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) it is called everytime you press the menu button and do your stuff there. or use your oncreateoptionsmenu() in different activities to inflate different menus - this one is called only once.



          Cheers

            onPrepareOptionsMenu is also called any time you call invalidateOptionsMenu, so it may be called more than once.

          Menu Object has a property to set the visibility of a menu's item using setVisible(boolean)//



          Example



          private Menu menu_change_language;
          ...

          ...

          @Override
          public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          ...
          ...
          menu_change_language = menu;
          ...
          ...

          return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
          }


          use code below for hiding Menu Item:



          if(menu_change_language != null){                 
          menu_change_language.findItem(R.id.menu_change_language)
          .setVisible(false);
          }

          If you want to change the visibility inside the onOptionsItemSelected whenever you click the menu



          @Override
          public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
          item.setVisible(true);
          return true;
          }


          OR
          for item in the menu that you didn't click on



          private Menu globalMenuItem;
          @Override
          public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
          getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu."menu Xml Name", menu);
          globalMenuItem = menu;
          return true;
          }
          @Override
          public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
          globalMenuItem.findItem(R.id."id of the menu item").setVisible(true);
          return true;
          }

            Simply do one thing get the id of the item of menu from this line:



            Menu menu =navigationView.getMenu();

            MenuItem nav_dashboard = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_dashboard);


            and than make it visible it accourding to you by this line:



            nav_dashboard.setVisible(true/false);

                Two tips: 1.you can tighten that up by writing register.setVisible(userNotRegistered); 2. Boolean variables are usually positive i.e. if(!userRegistered). if(!UsersNotRegistered) is difficult to understand: if the user is NOt not-registered?

                You might also want to do a invalidateOptionsMenu(); to refresh the menu if the user already has it open.

              I would simplify Adil's solution even further with the following:



              public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
              {
              MenuItem registrar = menu.findItem(R.id.menuregistrar);
              registrar.setVisible(!isRegistered);
              return true;

              Use public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) it is called everytime you press the menu button and do your stuff there. or use your oncreateoptionsmenu() in different activities to inflate different menus - this one is called only once.

              Menu Object has a property to set the visibility of a menu's item using setVisible(boolean)//



              Example



              private Menu menu_change_language;
              ...

              ...

              ...
              ...
              menu_change_language = menu;
              ...
              ...

              return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
              }


              use code below for hiding Menu Item:



              if(menu_change_language != null){                 
              menu_change_language.findItem(R.id.menu_change_language)

              If you want to change the visibility inside the onOptionsItemSelected whenever you click the menu



              @Override
              public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
              item.setVisible(true);
              return true;
              }


              OR
              for item in the menu that you didn't click on



              private Menu globalMenuItem;
              @Override
